i dare you
to follow some of these at work. my friend dalia sent me these dares and i actually laughed out loud reading quite a few of them. creating, being in, and watching awkward moments, is basically my life. i highly recommend you to follow suit.
1. Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
2.To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace. (lol)
3.Leave your fly open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way".
4.Walk sideways to the photocopier.
5.While going in an elevator, gasp dramatically each time the doors open.
6.When in elevator with one other person, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn't you.
7.Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy..." (so annoying)
8.Don't use any punctuation.
9.Interrupt your conversation with someone by giving a huge dejected sigh. (i'd so do this)
10.Use your highlighter pen on the computer screen.
THREE-POINT DARES
11.Say to your boss, "I like your style", wink, and shoot him with double-barreled fingers. (crinnnge worthy)
12.Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle.
13.Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
14.Every time you get an email, shout ''email''.
15.Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has got over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
16.Keep hole punching your finger. Each time you do, shout, "dagnamit, it's happened again!". Then do it again.
17. Introduce yourself to a new colleague as "the office bicycle". Then wink and pout.
18. Call I.T. helpdesk and tell them that you can't seem to access any pornography web sites. (yesss)

humidity thinks it's love
humidity is such a pain in the arse this time of year. it's super affectionate and will smother you to suffocation. kind of like someone annoying who just doesn't get the point. my camera didn't appreciate the effect the humidity uninvitedly offered either - i didn't alter the photo in any way. ugh i can feel the stickiness looking at it. it'd probably be pretty amusing watching someone who relied on their specs try to get around tho.
i hope you're all able to handle it (pointless comment).

a+ get well package
as per my post beirut ritual, my body decided to rebel and had to fall mercy to the drip. apparently i drank too much according to doc but what does he know. anywho, i have to say after a couple days of hating the sight of food, my appetite was much more civil after i received this special get well delivery from dxb. i've never attempted something like this, i've always believed my company would be enough to remedy someone's illness (not haughty, just hopeful) slash i'd probably make them feel worse if i attempted to cook. some people go out of their way, others just don't. it really does make a difference tho, especially when you feel like you're about to keel over cuz the thought of drinking water feels like drudgery. either way, my tummy is happy. thanks mo! so if you know someone who has been feeling the wrath of a sensitive stomach/poisoning make sure you try this and include:
1. chicken broth (skim off the fat)
2. fluffy white rice (includes a lot of rinsing apparently)
3. moist mashed potatoes (umm.. just make sure they're always covered with water i presume)
4. soft carrots (add some cinnamon for a kick)
5. saltine crackers
6. rice thins
7. red and yellow gatorade
8. get well flowers
9. a get well card
and there you go, officially a good samaritan.

BEAUTY: eyes
i usually eschew the intense eye make-up sort of look, but because everything else is so minimal and simple, i'd love to try this one. naturally, you need a great base, which i'm sure we can all agree is the case here. the make-up so perfectly brings out that special charm in the eyes while maintaining an overall softness in the face. definitely worth a try during your fairer days, not so much when the suns coated your skin.

letting loose with pb & j
what happens when you have four girls hanging out in the kitchen after a night out? a finished jar of peanut butter and some jelly on the side. it was all fun and games till i woke up sick the next day. i blame the martini. think it'll be a while before i can have any again.
note: do not try this if you do not appreciate double dipping.
